Do you outsource link wheels, blog comments, forum profiles, etc?

There are other more authentic outsourcing sites than fiverr which ensure quality and some great coders to work for you, like vworker and Odesk. Or ask me

I have a few workers from odesk that i outsource these tasks too. Odesk have various ways for you too decide if the person is right for you. The people have profiles where you can look at there feedback and if it is good or bad.

I am doing what you are doing, building an authority site. I have used Fiverr alot for seo purposes and have had no negagtive issues with google, infact iam rising quiet nicely in the serps for multiple pages on my site.

I have used a linkwheel for various pages, had various PR4-Pr9 backlinks done as well as articles syndication for other pages. I am currently using a couple of blog network wso's to boost my page 1 rankings for my main keyword. It did disappear from the serps for about two weeks but has bounced back to position 7 on page 1. This search term gets 22000 exact searches per month and is very competitive.

I think you can make your SEO better without hiring anyone and great deal for you

I have in the past (a long time ago) outsourced off-page SEO, though I think I got very, very little benefit from doing so, and have certainly done no worse for rankings with my more recent niches for which the only backlinks I have are relevant ones produced by the syndication of my articles.

But I haven't outsourced link-wheels (and wouldn't), for the reasons explained here: http://www.warriorforum.com/adsense-...ml#post4628650

And I haven't outsourced blog comments (and wouldn't), because I use those to attract targeted traffic, and one does that (just as with forum backlinks) by interacting and adding value, which aren't things I'd easily trust anyone else to do in my name and with my reputation involved.

And I haven't outsourced forum profile backlinks (and definitely wouldn't) because they're (a) spam, and (b) worthless anyway.

The way SEO is going, these days, "numbers of backlinks" and "page ranks" don't really mean anything, anyway. We can all see this for ourselves from the regularity with which lower-PR pages with fewer backlinks are outranking higher-PR pages with more backlinks in Google's SERP's. And Google tells us openly that it's so and it's going to become more so. So all that matter to me are quality and relevance. I wouldn't be completely averse to outsourcing work that could reliably produce backlinks on relevant sites of high quality, but I've never found a way of doing so that compares with the benefits of article syndication at all. Not even close.

I'm usually not at all impressed by the opinions of people who talk in forums about "backlink diversity" because the reality is that they're often trying to use that concept as a purported justification for the inclusion of poor relevance and poor quality links (which often just happens to be what they themselves sell, of course), on the totally erroneous and spurious grounds that it will somehow "look natural" to Google and that that will be a "good thing". None of that matches any of my experience, any of the experience of others I know and trust, any of the experience of "SEO people" I trust, or any of the advice given in the up-to-date SEO textbooks I've read, at all. Call me a skepchick, but I think "backlink diversity" is mostly nonsense.

I think you just changed my mind on it all Alexa, and that is a good thing. Maybe I should just use my outsource money instead for a good quality writer(s) to create high quality articles I can post on my website, and article directories, instead.
